Thiamine triphosphate
Thiamine triphosphate is the triphosphate ester of thiamine. Thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) was previously considered to be a specific neuroactive form of thiamine. However, it was recently shown that ThTP exists in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals suggesting a much more general cellular role. In particular, it seems to play a role in response to amino acid starvation. In mammals, ThTP is hydrolyzed by a specific thiamine triphosphatase. In Leighs disease, this compound is present in decreased amounts in the brain due to a metabolic block in its formation. [HMDB] Thiamine triphosphate is the triphosphate ester of thiamine.
